Macon is pursued by Muriel Pritchett (Davis), an animal hospital employee and dog trainer with a sickly son. After he falls down the basement stairs and breaks his leg, Macon returns to his childhood home to stay with his eccentric siblings. Sarah eventually leaves Macon, moving out of their house and into an apartment. His marriage to his wife Sarah (Turner) is disintegrating in the aftermath of the murder of their twelve-year-old son.
